5. QUALITY ASSURANCE

ASTM E 84 Definition: Strict interpretation of the ASTM E 84 fire rating applies only to surface burning characteristics of a panel. Marlite MAP System fire rated panels and trim are intended to provide a Class A fire rated application, as defined by ASTM E 84 classification, but are not intended to be included in the creation of fire rated demising wall construction. ASTM E 84 fire rating for a Class A material requires a flame spread 25 or less, along with a smoke development maximum of 450. ASTM E 84 fire rating for a Class C material requires a flame spread of between 26 and 200, along with a smoke development maximum of 450.

Marlite Fire Rated Wood Veneer panels are comprised of Class A components, as requested by a specifier to meet, or exceed, restrictions where rated fire retardant surfaces are required. As the panel face consists of a material that is less than 1/28" (.0357") thick and does not contribute to or pose an unusual hazard. This allows an exemption for the face material, but the substrate material must be rated to the local code requirements for a particular installation.

As all current U.S. building fire rating codes are pertinent only to surface burning characteristics of applied materials, the balancing backer is not subject to scrutiny within fire ratings.

A. Conform to building code requirements for interior finish for smoke and flame spread requirements as tested in accordance with:

1. ASTM E 84 (Method of test for surface burning characteristics of building Materials)

2. Required Rating – Class [A.] [C.]

6. DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING

A. Deliver panels and associated materials factory packaged on strong pallets and properly packaged or protected.

1. Upon delivery carefully inspect all cartons, packages, pallets and protective wrap for damage or material shortage.

2. Open and inspect suspect packages, cartons or wrapped pallets for damage.

3. Contact shipper immediately to report any damaged or missing materials.

4. Contact Marlite @ (800) 377-1221 immediately to report any damaged or missing materials.

5. Contact Marlite @ (800) 377-1221 with any questions, problems or concerns.

B. Store products in manufacturer's unopened packaging until ready for installation.

1. Maintain plastic or other protective wrap in place during on site handling until ready for installation.

2. Keep panels clean and do not stack panels after removal of protection.

C. Store and dispose of solvent-based materials, and materials used with solvent-based materials, in accordance with requirements of local authorities having jurisdiction.

7. PROJECT CONDITIONS

A. Wood composite panels are subject to the effects of humidity and temperature. Do not use in kitchens, rest rooms, or other high humidity areas.

B. Partition walls are to be finished and the building completely closed. Walls shall be thoroughly dry and concrete cured and dry before starting installation.

C. HVAC system must be operable and installation area must be balanced to normal operating conditions.

To ensure product performance, a temperature range of 60°-80°F (16°C-27°C) and a humidity range of 35-55% must be maintained during storage, installation and product life cycle. Do not install products under environmental conditions outside manufacturer's absolute limits.

8. COORDINATION AND SEQUENCING

A. Except as specified by the architect, it’s recommended to locate trim members so that panel lines coordinate with doors, headers, jambs and other discontinuities in a wall.

B. Vapor barrier shall be used on exterior walls behind backing to discourage warping.

1. Verify that a vapor barrier has been provided on exterior walls behind backing to prevent warping.

2. Verify backing panels are smooth, solid, and flat. All drywall joints are to be taped and finished.

3. Verify that walls are primed before installation begins.

4. Verify mechanical, electrical, and building service and/or items affecting work of this section are placed and ready to receive this work.

B. Structural walls are to be finished, with building completely closed. Walls shall be thoroughly dry before starting installation.

2. PREPARATION

A. Conditioning: Panels must be allowed to acclimate to a balanced environment in the installation location for 72 hours prior to installation.

B. Protect existing surfaces with drop cloths.

Due to textures, wood grain patterns, materials and manufacturing techniques, some panels may vary in color consistency, tone and pattern. These variations are expected and not to be considered as defects. Contact Marlite with questions or problems.

C. Except as directed by the architectural drawings, before installing, examine panels and arrange to achieve best combination of color, pattern, texture and grain.

3. INSTALLATION

A. Install all materials in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions with hardware straight, plumb, and level.

1. Anchor units rigidly and securely in place.

2. Cut sheets to meet existing supports.

B. Fasten initial bottom panel to the wall with #6 or #7 bugle head drywall screws. Install a minimum of one screw every third slot (or 9" (228mm)) vertically and every stud horizontally, typically every 16" (40.64cm) on centers horizontally (maximum 24" (600mm) on centers horizontally). Each 4' x 8' panel shall have minimum of 42 screws secured to studs or furring.

1. Where screws do not hit the studs, fasten with adhesive in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

2. Screws must be installed thru the panel grooves.

3. Slatwall panels without inserts do not require pre-drilling.

4. Slatwall panels with inserts require 5/32" pre-drilling of holes thru the insert and panel before fastening.

C. Avoid contamination of the panel faces with adhesives, solvents or cleaners during installation.
